I had to google framberry - not heard of those before but they sound smashing

They are absolutely delicious. You don't get as much fruit from 1 plant as you would from a strawberry and I find the insect pests (often tortrix moth) like them so some of the fruit is damaged, but as something to pick and eat in small quantities they are superb.
